Yes, it is possible to replace pool coping. Pool coping is the material that covers the top edge of the pool structure and serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. Over time, coping may deteriorate, become damaged, or simply need an update to improve the pool's appearance or functionality. Here are the basic steps involved in replacing pool coping:
Assessment: Begin by assessing the condition of the existing pool coping. Determine if it can be repaired or if a complete replacement is necessary.
Choose New Coping Material: Select the new coping material that suits your preferences and budget. Common pool coping materials include natural stone, concrete, brick, and pavers. Ensure that the chosen material is appropriate for pool use and complements your pool's design.
Remove Existing Coping: If replacement is required, carefully remove the old coping material. This may involve using tools such as a chisel or a jackhammer to break up and remove the old coping.
Prepare the Substrate: Ensure that the pool's edge and surrounding area are properly prepared. This may involve leveling the substrate, repairing any damage, and creating a smooth, stable surface for the new coping.
Install New Coping: Lay the new coping material in place, starting from one end and working your way around the pool. Use mortar or adhesive appropriate for the chosen material to secure the coping in position.
Grout and Seal: Once the coping is in place, grout the joints between the coping pieces to create a seamless appearance. Seal the coping to protect it from water, UV rays, and other environmental factors.
Finish and Clean: After the grout and sealant have set, clean the pool coping and the surrounding area thoroughly. Ensure that the pool is ready for use.

I replaced the liner and kept the old coping. Now, five years later, the coping is failing. It has cracks and splits and looks terrible. If I had it to do all over again, I would have replaced the coping. There were signs of deterioration that I had ignored. The small seam covers had mostly broken off. Blaming the kids, I got some replacements from the company that had installed the pool originally. The lasted on season. Your coping may be failing. Why take the chance?

Can you replace coping on vinyl liner pool with stone?
Afraid not. Vinyl liner pools are built using "concrete receptor coping" into which the deck is poured. It also contains the "bead receptor" that the vinyl liner attaches to. Actually YES it can. You would want to do this during a liner replacement but it can be done. You would have to remove the concrete from around the perimeter of the pool, remove/ replace the "concrete receptor coping" with bead receiver, aluminum extrusion, form/pour a bond beam, then lay your stone. Not really an easy do it yourself job but it can be done.
Can the PVC coping be replaced with new PVC coping on an inground pool built in the mid 70's?
Pool coping can only be replaced by cutting the concrete at least a foot back from the coping and busting that section out. If it were me, I wouldn't replace it with PVC, I would go with aluminum. Because of this, a new liner will most likely be needed. My pool was built in '74. The liner needs to be replaced and the coping looks awful. I have been told by 2 pool repair men that the concrete will have to be "busted up" and also replaced. I was told "Liner Lock" is used to hold the new liner onto the old coping and it should last until the liner needs to be replaced again. So, I asked if there was something out there to cover the coping since it looked so bad. One of them says he will check into it for me but I have not heard back yet. I AM IN THE SAME SITUATION WITH A 30 YEAR OLOD POOL. I AM ONLY LOOKING TO PURCHASE THE 4 ALUMINUM CORNERS IF SOMEONE DECIDES TO GET RID OF THEM TO ADD NEWER COPING PLEASE CONTACT ME AT WGJ48@AOL.COM. THANKS, BILL
